Hello,
today I typed by accident "TableView" instead of "TableForm" writing a
notebook, so I discovered a function apparently not documented in
Mathematica 7 / Mac version. "TableView" displays a list in a
spreadsheet-like format. I tried to search the DocumentationCenter
without finding any information, neither Google nor Wolfram search
engine gave better results. The only documentation I found was using
the "Information - (??)" command. It show the options that TableView
accepts.
It appears to be very useful, as it introduces a more flexible way to
observing the data. There are infact some data editing features
accessible through a popup menu (a "+" icon on the top left of the
view) and others ctrl-clicking the view (ctrl-click on Mac; right-
click on Windows).
Perhaps it is a new feature being finalized that will be included in
next version. Someone maybe knows something more about this function?
In[1]:= mylist = Table[ Subscript[a, i, j], {i, 5}, {j, 3} ]
(* a little matrix *)
In[2]:= mylist // TableView (* show it as a small spreadsheet
*)
In[3]:= ?? TableView
System`TableView
Attributes[TableView] = {Protected, ReadProtected}
Options[TableView] := {Background -> None, BaseStyle -> {},
DefaultBaseStyle -> "TableView", DefaultLabelStyle ->
"TableViewLabel",
FrameStyle -> GrayLevel[0.85], ContentSize -> Automatic,
ItemSize -> 10,
LabelStyle -> {}, RotateLabel -> False, Spacings -> Automatic,
TableHeadings -> {Automatic, Automatic}}
